This is a court case about visitation and custody of a daughter between two divorced parents. The trial court found Morgan in contempt and sent her to jail for not following the court order for visitation. The court ordered her to let her daughter visit her father over the summer, but the court didn't have enough evidence to support that decision. Morgan believes that her daughter was sexually abused by her father, but the trial court disagreed. The court says that Morgan made a mistake when she didn't obey the court order. Morgan argues that the judge was biased against her, and that her right to free speech and due process were violated. The court says that these claims are not true. However, the court also ruled that the requirement for Morgan to pay $200,000 was wrong, and that they can't take Morgan's property to pay for it. The custody and visitation issues still need to be resolved, and the court needs to find out if the child is okay.
